New Posting Features - Automatic Thread Closing

Hello guys this is my first mod ported for 3.7, it still works on 3.6 though!

Features:

• Make a list of forums to either restrict the add-on to or exclude the addon from the list
• Option to close sticky threads or not
• Enable/disable hack
• Set timelimit
• All settings can be set in ACP
• Option to close thread after X amount of posts
• Allow certain usergroups to bypass the hack

Why?
I was getting tired of all those people necro-posting, posting in threads that are up to three years old. This is my solution

Time to install:
Less than one minute

History:
1.00 release
1.10 threadbit display closed
1.20 all settings through ACP
1.30 close thread after reply-count
1.40 bugfix
1.50 dunno what I did
1.60 option to exclude or restrict to the list of forum ids


After billions of requests, I have finally done what you did!

Note
Don't forget to click Mark as Installed!
Also, my testing system is down but the worst this hack can cause is a syntax error.

If this mod could somehow be combined with the mod here -- https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178050 -- it might just be perfect!!! I need the automatic part of this mod, but the move thread to another forum part of the other mod...

I like the way the mod merriweather posted lets you select what forums to enabled much easier way.

any idea if that something you would add??

installed and nominated.

you have no idea how long i've been looking for a mod like this!

updated!

I have it installed since the previous version. is an excellent aid for moderation. just as with the earlier version, would be important and necessary, an automatic message, under any user administrator of the reasons why the issue is closed!

now, once again, thank you very much, for all the work!

Time, is this hours, days or whats the go?

Great, thank you!
The feature to set a timelimit was exactly what I searched for...

Does anyone know if this works on 3.8.2 ?

Thanks!

I'm about to find out...

I would assume this runs via a cron job but I don't see anything listed under Scheduled Tasks...


Added:

1. yes, it works like a charm for vBulletinversion 3.82

2. I don't know how it works but I just enabled a few minutes ago and it's already locked the appropriate threads. I'm still curious as to how it's triggered, though.
